Hello, and who built this turbo manifold?
2 Attachment(s)
Good morning, had a JRSC M45 in my 1994 "R", and am interested in going turbo.
I write through bleary eyes after searching 155 threads returned under "manifold" for the builder of this one (I fully expect brutality if I've done the attachment wrong). Could someone direct me to it's builder, or build thread?: |
“Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports ... all others are games.”
-Hemmingway This is the proper quote. |
Thanks Hustler, I knew it was Hemingway, but didn't put it in quotes because I wasn't certain of the exact phrasing.
I didn't get the lambasting I was expecting having read other newbie posts. You people going soft during the Holiday season?:giggle: Any ideas on who built the turbo manifold? |

I am guessing. merely guessing. Turbo Tim or Begi. There are from time to time gifted individuals that builds there own masterpieces, But I know tim could do it. But he replys to cost as in. " If you ask it is too much". I'm old school. I always need prices.:) But seems helpful and a good guy. And his parts produce good numbers. I would pm him and see if it was his. He might know anyway.. You will like the turbo. Much more power, with the right turbo. Good Luck! |
that looks like a miata motor, but mos def not in a miata. I try to save the lambastings for people who deserve it.
|
I vaguely remember someone posting a link to that manifold to make a joke.

Mystery solved, thanks crashnscar!
I agree urgaynknowit it's very attractive, not sure it likes me, but it might;). I've got to believe when you put the weight of the turbo low like that, it can only do good for CofG on the car. Wish I had some mad welding skillz yo. Thanks for all your help, turns out I didn't need you all to lambast me, my wife looked over my shoulder and saw the pic of our son on my post and.....I took the pic off. |
Isnt that truck a project of one of the guys who work on the development team for megasquirt?

You're right Braineack you were first, Happy Kwanzaa.
Good point y8s, one would have to weigh the tubing to make sure it wasn't a "wash". Thanks again all |

Well, you stated you searched. And there is so much you have to filter through. You would probably never find it.

And thanks for the compliment :) Not mine and I don't know who built that one, sorry. Nice turbo placement but IMHO too much pipe. EDIT: I should read thru the entire thread before posting... |
Why did no one complain about the shitty 1:30am welding job and the fact the top of that back middle runner was cut and joined because it didn't line up otherwise? :-p

About the manifold : I hand filed the insides of the merger and ports to be smooth and flow well. Here is the down pipe, a few people referred to it as "out pipe" due to lack of bends : http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...4/100_4271.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...4/100_4272.jpg Glad you like it anyway :-) Fred. |
Thank you Fred, I followed the link at the bottom of your post and read all about it.
"ex mani on the Persian rug in the lounge just after completion." I love it, my wife would $hit a brick if I put a car part on the rug, but I giggled silly when I saw that pic. Are you from NZ? I worked in Johannesburg in 2000 for a year, watched an RSA vs. AUS cricket match, all 8 hours of it from a box seat there. Thanks again, Chris |
